I happen to think that they're wanting the wrong thing. Even so, you don't need 
lein or ant or maven to get there. One of the joys of interpreted languages is 
losing the middle step in the edit- compile-test cycle. (Yes, I know that 
clojure does a compile; so does every production interpreter. This isn't 
something to bother beginners with.) Taking that away from them is wrong, and 
leads them away from the part of the lisp way known as exploratory programming.
